Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
Have you ever caught yourself comparing your spiritual walk or gifts to another? Maybe you wonder why sister Suzy Q has so much zeal and seems so spiritual when you maybe feel lethargic and washed up.
All of us have good days and bad days and indeed the devil will try to get you when you are in a spiritual slump. Even when you are feeling defeated, guess what!? God is still there and He understands. There is no magic formula to having a quiet time.
Every day get up and just say a big thank you to the Lord for allowing you another day of life. Ask Him to use you today and show you what you need to know through scripture. Ask Him to give you His love for those you encounter today. Everyone has a different purpose in God’s kingdom. A person can be humanly famous but that doesn’t mean your gift is less important than theirs. Walk boldly knowing God has a distinct plan and He will use you to bring it to fruition. Tell Satan to take a hike and leave you alone.
PRAYER: Each and every brother and sister in Christ has off days where they feel not very special and maybe are in a slump and can’t get going. Father empower me daily with strength I need for the battles I will encounter during my day. Help me to turn on praise music when I am starting to cave to discouragement. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
